UPS loses lawsuit

"In the 2009 accident, Ms. Ibarra was driving a UPS truck when it hopped a curb and hit a telephone pole, causing no injuries. Trial witnesses testified that several male UPS drivers from the same facility in Odessa were allowed to keep their jobs despite being in far worse accidents, including two accidents involving fatalities and others involving serious injuries.Trial testimony also showed that UPS managers gave Ms. Ibarra more packages to deliver than her male counterparts, including one incident when a manager set aside six 100-pound packages for Ms. Ibarra to deliver between 9:30 and 10 p.m. even though she was pregnant at the time."

Not really. They will feel it and they hate that they lost. This is the same company that will fight you over a few clicks paid over everyday until you tap out. Funny thing is they watch every nickel but watch dollars fly out the window daily.

The divisiveness between male and female drivers is something that needs to stop. You can all make fun of me all you want. We are upsers. We are Teamsters. You may not believe in what that means, but that is your problem. Physically can a male employee do more work than a women employee? Sure. But that is besides the point. It is no different than saying that a 65 year old man is weak, because he cannot do the same amount of work as that of a 21 year old man. You all need to get off your high horse and realize that there will be a certain amount of adjustments that the company will have to make to accommodate the female or older employee. I get fed up with all of this bullish#+. Grow up. Show some respect for your fellow worker.

Show some respect by carrying you through your career?

Shut up!

Do the job or leave! We have 60 year old drivers who have earned the right to their cake routes and we have 55 year old rookies who if they can't hack a 500 piece 200 stop route then they should quit.

We have "powder puff" girls who will throw an over 70 around with the boys and run scratch better than you.

I will NOT carry you through your career because you are a woman or anything else. But I wont judge you on our differences either.

PROVE to me you're a "brother" and a team mate (like i have proven to my loop mates) and I will show up to every meet point with an empty truck and a willingness to help. Other wise take your over allowed and go home. UPS should not make the job easier for anyone just because.
